This hand-forged Bunka has a blade length of 170mm. It was forged in traditional handwork by Tanaka-san from the Matsubara forge in Japan. The Bunka has a Kurouchi finish which results from the 3-layer blade structure, consisting of the softer sheath steel and the very hard inner core steel, which forms the cutting edge of the knife.
